Sorry for taking me long to update. It's really crazy how things are going around me now. The research the exams all at the same time... But I tried to update as soon as possible.

Thanks for the reviews they really make me think of more twists to add into this story. 47 Seconds was WOW!

I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS … its heart breaking actually I know! John is mine though!


Reminder for chapter 4

"Beckett" she answered her phone.

"Oh. hey John! How is the eye today?"

"Well you better put more ice on it; again I'm so sorry for last night. I will make it up for you, I promise"

"Traaack".

She turned around to see her apartment's door close very hard.

"Talk to you later John, Take care and tell dad I said hello"

Putting the phone on the table she hurried to the bedroom but there was no Castle in there that's for sure. 'He must've heard her talk to John and got angry and left'

"OMG" she yelled to her self ' I didn't tell him yet about John' she thought with her hand on her mouth.

"So stupid Kate, well done"


Chapter 5

After what happened the night before Kate didn't have the chance to tell Castle about John. She was intended on telling him at the bar that's why she took John there, to introduce him to Castle. But Castle greeted the man with a punch in the face and after that Kate went down to Castle's office to tell him. But again something pop up. It seemed the universe was playing with them!

Afterword's Kate decided to call Castle and tell him the whole story. How he took the wrong impression about her and John. But he rejected her call and turned off his phone.


It was one month ago when her dad had called and asked her to meet him in a restaurant. She went there and saw her dad sitting there, but he wasn't alone. There was a young man sitting next to him. Kate came and gave her dad a hug and shook the man's hand. She knew there was something going on after all she is a detective. But she decided to let her dad explain.

"Katie! This is john."

"Nice to meet you John" she gave him a smile and the three of them started to chat trying to hide the weirdness each felt. After a while Kate turned to her dad al of a sudden "what's going on dad?"

Jim trying to break the news as smooth as possible picked his words carefully

"This may sound hard for you to deal with"

"John…. John is your brother".

"What!" The badass Beckett appeared and his daughter Kate was gone at that moment. She was confused. How can she have a brother if she was a lonely child? Her mom and dad were high school sweethearts. That means they were together like for ever. Did her dad cheat on her mother!.

"Would you excuse me" she left without looking at the man sitting next to her dad.

Kate headed to the bathroom, washed her face trying to breathe 'what the hell was that!" she tried to get herself together and decided to go back to where the two men were sitting.

"Dad I got a call, there is a murder and they need me, I will see you later ok?"

Jim knowing his daughter very well just gave her a nod and didn't argue.

Kate stood up and went out of there as fast as she could heading home all confused, what she was going to do! Who says he really is her brother? What if he is a hustler? How come she didn't know about him until now? Too many questions popped into her head until she couldn't take it any more. Grabbing her phone and keys she left the apartment and went to see her dad again.

After a long talk with him, Jim told her every thing she needed to know.

"John's mother and I had a one night thing in high school. Before I met your mother, I don't even remember his mom. I must have been so drunk at the time"

"Dad, I really don't need that many details, just the important stuff would be great"

"I didn't even know she was pregnant "Jim continued.

"She disappeared after few months and I never saw her again".

"And where was he all this time? I mean John? Why come to find us now, Why not before?" Kate asked.

"He didn't know about us either!. He said that Caroline, his mother died few weeks ago. She had cancer and he found a key to a deposit box that was given to him by his mother's lawyer!"

Kate was listening very eagerly. Though part of her was still thinking this is all a lie.

"Caroline left him my name and address along with a letter explaining everything in that box"

"I need to see that letter" again the detective in her was taking over.

"Katie! Do you think he is lying?"

"You have to understand that I see a lot of situations exactly like this in my job and they never end well Dad!" she started to walk away from Jim then turned to face him.

"We don't know anything about him" she added putting her hands in her hair.

"He agreed to make a DNA test! Katie!, why would he do all this if he was lying?"

"I need his full name dad!".

"Don't look at me like that! I have to make sure he is telling the truth" she explained when Jim started to stare at her in disbelieve.

Jim gave her John's full name and assured her that he believes the man and she should too. After all they have a new family member now!

"I have to leave you now dad"

"Ok Katie. Take care "he gave her a hug and she left.

Immediately after she was on her way home she called Esposito, "Hey Javi! I need you to do a background check on, John Parker, his mother's name is Caroline"

"Is he a suspect?"

"No he is not and don't let Gates find out about this, not even Ryan or Castle. Ok? "

"You got it boss"

After the background check she asked John to do a DNA test and finally when the results came in and she found out that he really was her brother. She was partly happy that now she has gained a new family member but part of her was afraid that this will make her forget her mother's murder.

And when she finally agreed to go out with John and get to know him. Kate gave him her address. But John couldn't find her place so he called her and asked her to go out side. Kate went down and saw him in front of the building. Giving him hug for the first time since she found out he really was her brother. But for her bad luck Castle saw her hugging another man and without knowing that man was actually her brother Castle got angry and this misunderstanding started after that moment.


Kate was wondering all over her place, 'why am I acting like a teenage girl!' she tried to call Rick again but no luck his phone was still off.

"I just hope you don't do something stupid Castle" talking to herself she went to take a bath and calm herself down.

It was 9pm and no sign of Castle yet. Kate was so tired; she took her favorite book "heat rises" and went to the bedroom. While reading, she fell asleep.

"Beckett" she answered her phone with a sleepy voice.

"Its Ryan, we have a body" he gave her the address.

"I will be there in 15min" she got up and saw that it was 4am. Took a shower and headed to the crime scene.

The day passed till it was around 4pm and still no sign of Castle. Kate was mad at herself feeling responsible for what Castle was going through.

After what seemed a very frustrating case the boys decided to call it a night and start fresh tomorrow. Kate stayed for a little longer looking to the board in front of her. She looked like she was thinking about the case but she wasn't even little bit close to thinking about the case because her mind was screaming "Castle".

Kate put on her jacket the same one she was wearing at the bar that night, and left the precinct.

After standing for almost 10min outside Castle's loft she decided to knock on the door. But it was already open.

Kate lifted her hand to her gun and slowly went inside the loft. "Castle!" she got no answer and there was no sign of Martha or Alexis.

"Castle, you here!" her heart was beating fast now.

She went to Castle's study and his laptop was open but he wasn't there. His bedroom's door was wide open. She decided to go inside but part of her didn't want to.

She walked into Rick's room silently her hand still on her gun.

"OMG Castle … put on some clothes for God's sake!" Kate closed her eyes with her other hand.

"What are you doing here Beckett?" Castle was confused. It was his dream to be naked in his room with Kate but not like this. This was awkward.

"I called after you but got no response, I… I thought something was wrong. Your apartment door was open!"

"It must be mother, she left in a hurry and I didn't check after her if the door was closed. I didn't hear you because I was in the shower"

"You can take that hand away now, Kate"

She moved her hand rom her eyes and a blush covered her face. He was still naked, well he has his towel around his waist now but that chest ' focus Kate, focus' her thoughts were taking her to dangerous places.

"I'm….I'm gonna wait… mmm outside till... You get dressed" but she was still there 'move Kate! Move, stop staring at him' she moved her eyes to his and saw the grin on his face.

"Why detective Beckett, are you feeling uncomfortable?" he is so loving this situation.

"You do realize my hand is still on the gun" she narrowed her eyes at him, anything to make her mind off of that chest.

"Owww…. That sounds sexy with you being in my room" he totally forgot that he was mad at her, again. This woman can take his mind away and make him speechless.

"Don't play with the fire Rick, it might burn you" she bite down her bottom lip.

He loves when she does that. Taking a step towards her "maybe I will burn you with me" he teased standing very close to her now.

She can feel the heat coming out of his bare chest. She tried to take a step back but it wasn't possible since there was a wall behind her. He took an advantage of this and closed the distance between them even more.

Kate's face was facing the floor now. Well her face was but her eyes were wondering his chest.

"Kate. no running this time!"

She looked up and he put his arms against the wall on her sides, leaning toward her.

'Kiss me!' was all she wanted to say. Kate was looking to his mouth. But she remembered she came here to talk. trying to move but he stopped her and pulled her closer to him. Every part of him was touching her now.

Pulling her head to his, He kissed her slowly barely touching her lips which made her crazy. He was torturing her.

Kate couldn't take it anymore she pushed her lips to his but he pulled back and repeated his torture again. She was mad now.

"Rick!" that whisper made him lose his control. Pushing her against the wall again he kissed her long neck.

They danced like that for a while. Kissing, teasing and torturing each other. There moans filled the room, until they ended up on his bed. Rick was on top of her his hands trying to find a bare skin to touch. Moving her shirt up, he was taken by a surprise when he found himself all of a sudden lying under her.

"You're quick, strong, and everything I imagined" he said and tried to get up and kiss her.

Her jacket was on the floor now. The gun was on the table next to some books.

"Castle …." She was trying to breathe "Rick ... we need to talk ".

"Are you serious?" He couldn't believe that she was thinking of someone else, Even now being in his arms. "That's what he thought "

"All this passion between us, tell me you don't feel It Kate! You still want to ignore it and be with someone who doesn't deserve you?" after that he went on and on.

"First it was Damming then Josh, and now what was his name again? John? "He was staring right into her eyes.

"You are playing with my feelings here! I can't take It any more Kate. Maybe I don't deserve you but at least I really … care about you".

She stood up, took her gun and left the loft.

'Damn it, Castle! Why should you hurt her like that' he stayed in his bed hands on his face.

After few minutes he got up and saw her jacket lying on the floor. Picked it up and something fell from it, a note.

"Katie, I hope I didn't cause any problems between you and your boyfriend. Don't worry about me I'm fine, Will call you later. Love: your brother John".

He runs his hand in his hair..."Her, brother!"

"What have I done!" he sat back on his bed with the note in his hands.


I had to explain about John so you won't get confused.
